Thus, ethnicity is self-perceived and people can belong to more than one ethnic group.

An ethnic group is defined as a social group whose members:

· share a sense of common origins,· claim a common and distinctive history and destiny,· possess one or more dimensions of collective cultural individuality, and· feel a sense of unique collective solidarity.Extended familyFamilial relationshipFamily nucleusFamily typeFertilityFoster childHighest school qualificationHours of unpaid work outside the homeHours worked in employmentHours worked is the total number of hours worked in employment in the week before the census..

The definition of employed used in the census includes all people aged 15 and over in employment for pay, profit or payment in kind, or those people who worked unpaid in a family business. Hours worked exclude unpaid work other than work performed in a family business and unpaid overtime. In the census, hours worked in all jobs are counted, not just the main job.

HouseholdHousehold characteristicsHousehold compositionIncome (total income)IndustryInlets and harbours, oceanic waters and islandsPeople outside territorial authority boundaries are described as either on "extra county islands" or "shipboard". Previously, meshblocks were allocated for specific ports and harbour areas (known as "shipping meshblocks"), but did not permit full coverage of the New Zealand coastline. Such meshblocks did not have defined seaward boundaries.

With most of the inhabited "extra county islands" being included in territorial authorities and regions (as a result of the 1989 local government re-organisation) and the need to expand the meshblock classification to the 12-mile territorial limit, the concepts of the "shipping" and "island" meshblocks have been modified.

The term "shipping meshblocks" has been replaced by "inlet" and "oceanic" meshblocks. In general, populated "islands" are assigned to their own meshblocks. These new meshblocks have definite boundaries.Internal migrationIwiJob search methodsLabour forceLabour force participation rateLabour force statusLanguageLiving arrangementsLooked for paid workMain means of travel to workMain means of travel to work refers to the method by which the respondent travelled the longest distance to work (on census day).
